Accessibility
The safety of our patients must remain our top priority, particularly during the era of the COVID-19 virus. However, research has proven that time spent with a loved one is vital to a patient’s recovery and well-being. See our visiting page before coming to hospital.
We are committed to making Brockville General Hospital barrier-free for patients and their family members, staff, health care practitioners, volunteers and community members.
Building accessibility
All Brockville General Hospital facilities are fully accessible, as legislated by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
Language interpreters
A list of different language interpreters is available upon request.
Service animals and support persons
We welcome people with disabilities who are accompanied by a service animal or support person on all our public premises. If your support person needs access to areas not normally open to the public, we will assess this on an individual basis.

We commit to:
- The continual improvement of access to facilities, policies, programs, practices and services for all our guests and team members
